Zusammenfassung:A method for inline data plane monitor placement and operation for network function virtualization involves receiving, at one or more control modules of a network, a logical monitoring specification. The logical monitoring specification includes a monitoring regime abstracted from a physical topology of the network. The one or more control modules perform one or more of instantiating or identifying one or more monitor instances of the network based on the logical monitoring specification, the one or more monitor instances being or having been instantiated within one or more data plane components of the network. The one or more control modules configure the one or more monitor instances based on the logical monitoring specification.
